Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Passionate reworking of the book Comment: "Memoirs of a Geisha" both book and film, should be one of those films I should love to hate but don't. Instead, I found myself captivated by the lush world, especially that brought to the big screen. Despite the surpring little multi-culture event that went on with the movie, it is just as wondrous and passionate as the book, with more inclination toward the "fairy tale" side of things. Which, if not necessarily historically accurate, is fine with a fairy tale freak such as myself. The acting is sensational, and the film is finely crafted. It's a wonderful story that does very well as a movie, even to the point of becoming breath-taking. Customer Rating: Summary: Great But Dosen't Do The Book Any Justice Comment: I love this film but as always the book is better than the movie and there were things I read in the book that they decided not to put in screenplay which is understandable to me but still as my review says. The film itself didn't do the book any justice Customer Rating: Summary: memoirs of a geisha blu-ray Comment: great movie colors really pop i also recommend the last samurai on blu-ray the colors and picture quality are amazing. Customer Rating: Summary: Less than Accurate Geisha Memoir -- or Something More? Comment: Director Rob Marshall spins a cool Japanese tale in Memoirs of a Geisha, an adaptation of the Arthur Golden novel of the same name. I loved the photography and segues throughtout the film. The editing and music were perfect. But the whole pining for love that can never be but might be, the geisha life and it's prid and standards and finally the invasion of American culture left me a bit wanting. I wanted more than I got, but what I did get was a fine, entertaining film. The jealous friends, the stab you in the back with a smile style, the unrequited love triangle, and the bidding on a woman's virginity were all quite fascinating in their own right. The characters were well done, and the actors, two of whom also were in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, were right for their respective roles; they were Ziyi Zhang Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, The Legend of the Black Scorpion; and Suzuka Ohgo: Asian Cinema 4-pack (Curse of the Golden Flower / Memoirs of a Geisha / Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon / House of Flying Daggers). Definitely a chick flick, but I was always a sucker for them. This DVD was barebones, a couple of commentary tracks and that's about it. Previews for one movie, gosh.... Just as good: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Customer Rating: Summary: Great Movie Comment: 100th time watching the movie but this was my first time watching it in Hi Def and it's that much better.
